Hello

My name is Amber and next year I'm strating my Charity project in South Amerika.

I'm looking for people to help me out with some info. I'm from Europe so it's really difficult to find all the information online. I'm thinking of buying a bus or mobilehome to drive around SouthAmerica. I hear Chile is the best option to buy a car but I also heard that buying it in North America and let it ship to South America.

We are traveling from Yellowknife to as far south as we can, with no precise itinerary and no time frame. The goal is to enjoy our trip, not to count countries, so we may decide to stop somewhere we like and stay put for a week, a month, a year, who knows how long, which we almost did in Arizona a few months into our trip. But we got going because the road called us to get moving...

Do it, but don't rush, it is not a race, and if you find a place you love, don't force yourself to go further. Stop and enjoy, at least for a while.
